[quote=ZOEY,264801]No.1 自相矛盾 (Zi 4 Xiang 1 Mao 2 Dun 4). It means “Be self-contradictory or contradict oneself.” Story: In the ancient state of Chu, there was a man who decided to sell his spear and shield. When he came to the market, he shouted loudly that his shield was the sturdiest in the world and no spear could pierce his shield. Then he took up a spear and said that it was the sharpest in the world and it could pierce any shield. At that moment, a man came over and asked:” What if I use your sharpest spear to pierce your sturdiest shield?” He said nothing but kept silent and walked away with his spear and shield. [/quote]
